GREEK EPITAPHS

Michael Wolfe, a poet and translator from northern California, will read from and talk about his new collection of translations from the ancient Greek epitaphs, CUT THESE WORDS INTO MY STONE, recently published by Johns Hopkins University Press.

He gathers together a broad cross-section of timeless voices summing up the lives of Greeks across their society so succinctly and vividly that they seem to speak in the present tense.
